What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead end-to-end IoT and automation projects, apply data-driven insights, work in agile teams, and deliver measurable operational impact.

I am a Project and Automation Consultant with a strong foundation in data, IoT, and machine learning, delivering end-to-end technical projects using agile methodologies. I focus on bridging business needs and technical implementation through smart integration, stakeholder coordination, and performance monitoring.

I have led complex engineering projects for organizations including the Brazilian Navy and contributed as a software developer to commercial IoT systems (RETINA) for major clients such as Ambev and Itaú. My hands-on work includes ESP32, MQTT, Node-RED, Modbus/RS485 integrations, and building KPI dashboards and real-time monitoring solutions.

I value clear communication, measurable impact, and organized delivery. I continuously expand my technical skills through formal training (MIT Data Science and Machine Learning; Industry 4.0 & IoT) and practical projects that combine automation, data analysis, and operational reporting.
